After a Volvo 340 (dire), Sierra 1.8 (rear wheel drive ), jap import toyota celica (fell apart) and a mondeo 1.6 (popular with the ladies, bizarrely) I finally got a nice car. Turbo-tastic. Not quite this shiny anymore...

Not got any pics of my actual first car but it was a burgandy one of these:



Then moved to Gibraltar and got one of these:


only pic I've got of her.

A 1.5 Seat Ibiza. If I did 140-150km/h the dash shook so much the CD skipped. Above this she was fine though

Then:



First car with luxuries such as power steering and working electric windows.

Current cage



Packing a bad boy 90BHP is as slow as hell but returns better MPG than the bike despite having an engine almost 3 times the size. Perhaps it's because it only does 4500RPM and rarely sees that.
